★ reverse screw tap
If the screw is large enough, consider using a reverse tapping tool (retracting tool), but first drill a hole in the original screw head with a drill and have a certain depth. Select a drill bit that is harder than the screw head according to the hardness of the screw head. Then it is better than the original direction of unscrewing the screw, so you can smoothly unscrew the original screw.

Note: It is recommended to test with other unimportant screw products before performing.
Reverse tapping is equivalent to using a self tapping screw to tap into the inside of the screw. Therefore, the deeper the tapping screw, the more likely the screw will expand and the screw hole may be broken. Special care must be taken to keep the product intact. In particular, the thinner the screw, the more disadvantageous it is to use a reverse screw tap, which is not conducive to the use of a drill press to handle the screw.

★ saw a groove in the head of the screw
A general hacksaw or a power tool can be used with a saw blade as long as the head of the screw protrudes.
After removing the trace of the slot in the head of the screw, use a flat-blade screwdriver to turn the screw out. It is recommended to use a torque screwdriver or a screwdriver with a rough handle. This is better to apply force, as long as the screw can be turned, there is a chance to unscrew.

★ welding
Generally, the screw head is not large, so you may want to find the argon-welding master. Use the spot welding method to weld the screwdriver on the screw head. After the welding, turn it straight down. In principle, the welder will be scrapped after being welded, so as long as it is Similar tools can be soldered. If it is a countersunk screw, it may not be welded. It is also conceivable to use solder to weld the screwdriver to the screw head, but the strength of the solder must be used to determine the success or failure.

★Two-component epoxy resin (Epoxy)
First wipe the surface of  a stripped screw with alcohol to remove the surface grease, then add some epoxy on the screw head, then put the screwdriver on, and then unscrew the screw after the epoxy is dry.
